The 26- season- aged and the NBA's winningest company agreed to a supermax improvement worth an estimated$ 315 million over five years, ending in the 2029- 30 period.
Fresh off an NBA finals, Boston Celtics sun Jayson Tatum will get the NBA's richest deal.
The 26- yr- aged and the NBA's winningest company agreed to a supermax improvement worth an estimated$ 315 million over five years, ending in the 2029- 30 period, according to Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes and The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The package replaces Jaylen Brown's$ 5,00,$ 5.4 million contract, which the Celtics partner Jaylen Brown signed last year as the biggest determination in NBA history. The i- stars are owed more than$ 600 million. It pays to give win, and Tatum and Brown have led Boston to the NBA Finals in two of the past three years.
This agreement has been expected since Tatum made a second subsequent All- NBA initially team last year, which made him for 35 % of the pay cover, beginning in the 2025- 26 campaign. He made a second straight All- NBA second team for great measure this previous season, leading Boston to a 64- 18 record — seven games better than any other team in the league. The Celtics posted the third- highest net rating in NBA history.
In Tatum's seven years, Boston has reached five of the last eight Eastern Conference finals. He has never missed more than eight games in a season, averaging a 23- 7- 4 on 46/38/8 4 shooting splits for his career. He posted 26.9 points ( 47/38/8 3 ), 8.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game this past season.
The Celtics now have Tatum and Brown — the backbone of their recent success — signed through the end of the decade, when both will still be in their early 30s. It is a remarkable degree of stability for the defending champions, who can bring their entire playoff rotation back under contract next season. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis also signed extensions with Boston this past season, and Derrick White agreed to a four- year,$ 125.9 million extension on Monday. The Celtics ' vaunted starting lineup could be under contract for at least the next two seasons, making them an expensive team and a perennial title favorite.
Tatum's contract serves as a more accurate indicator of timing than his league status. Were any of his All- NBA brethren also coming off a rookie- scale extension, he too would receive the NBA's richest contract.
What a time, indeed. The Celtics won each of their three other games in five games and made it to the NBA playoffs. Since the NBA adopted the current 16-win system in 2003, their 16-win postseason record is only behind only the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors.
Tatum was the driving force behind that domination, even if Brown won both the Eastern Conference finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP awards. Tatum led the team in points, rebounds and assists for the entire playoffs, logging 31 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds in a title- clinching win over the Dallas Mavericks.
